A scraper-chain conveyor channel section comprises a return trough and a conveyor trough. The return trough is constituted by a pair of side walls interconnected by a floor plate. A respective support bar is fixed to each of the side walls of the return trough. The support bars have portions extending upwardly beyond the side walls of the return trough. The conveyor trough is arranged between the upwardly-extending portions of the support bars. The conveyor trough is constituted by a pair of side walls interconnected by a floor plate. Respective connection means are provided for connecting the conveyor trough to each of the support bars. Each of the connection means includes a plurality of bolts and a plurality of clamping members. Each of the bolts is seated in a respective pocket in the associated support bar, and is engageable with a respective clamping member to force that clamping member into engagement with a respective clamping face on the conveyor trough.
